Welcome to Nisgakkulet Siknug Tosid, "Frostabbey, the Dwelling of Armor", dwarven outpost of the Stinthäd Zanos, "The Theater of Hope".
Frostabbey is located in the Worried Tooth mountains, near several goblin castles. The surrounding land is tundra, but the scouts have reported a volcano siting on the mountaintop. The tundra is full of the undead, brought back by unknown forces by unknown masters. The biome is simply known as one word:
Terrifying. Seven dwarves were sent off to begin the outpost on the volcano of the Fire of Habits, may Armok watch over their souls.
It is the 1
st of Granite, the year: 79, early spring when the seven arrive. In the group, there are three miners, two carpenters and two herbalists who are skilled in finding and preparing food.
There are no trees. The ground should be covered in a permafrost, completely white with snow all the year round. The entranceway must be guarded at all costs from the potential dangers of the outside. Frostabbey's greatest hope of survival is the single cavern layer below. Ever present beside them, the heat of the volcano.
The challenge: to survive.
Hey forums,
I have recently picked up Dwarf Fortress again, and recently rose to power in my stable working fortress of 91. I mostly mastered the new training style and the military, and was able to train squads of dwarves in every non-foreign weapon type. I don't understand the mechanics of minecarts and computing, so that is right out. But now, here I stand before the forum with a new quest: I need a challenge to complete. Something that can test my skills that won't end in !!FUN!! within five minutes of starting the game. Give me direction, so that I may complete a build worthy of remembering!
Thank you,
TGL
